Another example, if any were needed, that having a lot of money doesn't translate to having a lot of good sense:
The billionaire investor Tom Steyer, who in the past decade has been both the top Democratic donor in the country and the prime engine for pushing for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, appears ready to become Democratic candidate No. 26. Last week in San Francisco, Steyer told staffers at two progressive organizations he funds, Need to Impeach and NextGen America, that he is launching a 2020 campaign, and that he plans to make the formal announcement this Tuesday.Like fellow billionaire (and would- be spoiler for Trump) Howard Schultz, Steyer is hearing voices telling him to run, voices that are coming from inside his head or are being put there by political consultants looking at an ego ripe for fleecing.
If he has good sense, Steyer will be continuing to put his millions into progressive Democratic campaigns and defeating Trump and his craven Republican Party. He's been a good guy, doing the right thing for a while now. Let's hope he changes his mind (like this guy).
A few other comments:
Someone remind Tom Steyer that the Democrats need money, not another candidate— Schooley (@Rschooley) July 8, 2019
Dear Tom Steyer,— Amee Vanderpool (@girlsreallyrule) July 8, 2019
We need your money and that's it. No really, that's it.
Sincerely.
Everyone fighting Trump
UPDATE: Well, he's in, for better or more likely for worse.
